First, let her make the cake all by herself and not let anyone do anything to help or give suggestions.
Next let her decorate it with whatever she wants to (yes that is an 'Andes' chocolate mint square) and pray that no one reports you to the cake wrecks blog!
Just kidding, I think she did a pretty good job considering that we turned a burnt cake into a cat cake in mere minutes with no planning. Note to self: a cake made with applesauce instead of oil cooks faster.
Then take your 12 year old and hook her up to a harness at the mall and let her do this...
...jump so high that she forgets that other people are in the mall and squeals with such delight that her chicken sister wanted to do it too. She had a blast jumping to the ceiling of the mall, and this too was a last minute change in plans that turned out to be her favorite part of the day.
Then add a few traditions...like the birthday conga line with Memaw and a hot wings dinner (for cousin "N")...
...invite a million kids and there you have a perfect 12 year birthday bash!!!
Oh yeh, buy another birthday cake for anyone who has germ issues and wont eat the kid crafted cat cake (or those who just crave store bought birthday cake)!!! The End!
